Earth Day 2025: Posters and Virtual Backgrounds

Earth Science At NASA

NASA is an exploration agency, and one of our missions is to know our home. For more than 60 years, NASA has developed cutting edge sensors and techniques for understanding how our planet works – for the benefit of humanity and for insights we need to explore other moons and planets. NASA’s Earth Science Division operates more than 20 satellites in orbit, sponsors hundreds of research projects and studies, and funds opportunities to put data to use for societal needs. We develop new ways to observe the oceans, ice, atmosphere, life, and land cover. NASA research on Earth’s land surfaces have led to innovations in monitoring crops, forests, and water resources; in responding to hazards such as wildfires and landslides; and in observing how Earth’s landscapes are changing.

While engaging with industry leaders, international partners, academic institutions, and other users of our data, we drive innovations and deliver science to help inform decisions that benefit the nation and the world.
